Brother SE-400 Computerized Embroidery & Sewing Machine

December 9, 2010 | Author: | Posted in Free Stuff

The Brother SE 400 is the best selling embroidery machine on amazon.com and people just love it. Whether you’re a beginner just getting into embellishment or an experienced seamstress wanting to branch out into embroidery, take a look at the feature-packed Brother SE-400 Computerized Sewing And Embroidery Machine. You’re getting both sewing and embroidery functions in one compact machine at a fraction of what you’d pay for the two machines separately.

Just attach the embroidery unit and choose from 70 built-in embroidery designs, 5 monogramming fonts, and 120 frame pattern combinations. Or stitch designs downloaded with the USB port and saved in the Brother SE400′s memory. As an entry level embroidery machine – rated tops! – a great value for the money. The only downside might be the maximum size of the embroidery field which is 4×4 inches. Many embroidery patterns are available for this size, but if you want to embroider larger designs, you might consider investing more money and stepping up to a larger machine. The bright, backlit LCD touch screen makes it easy to select and edit embroidery patterns so that you can create the perfect designs for your unique creative project. No more fussing with stitch width/length dials. The on-screen guide reminds you how to do any operation at a glance.

And in addition to the embroidery functions, choose from 67 built-in sewing stitches, 98 stitch functions, and 10 styles of one-step automatic buttonholes for all your creative sewing projects from constructing fashionable clothes, home decorations, and quilting to just basic altering and mending.

A complete set of accessories comes with the Brother SE400 including an embroidery foot, embroidery hoop, 7 sewing feet (buttonhole, overcasting, monogramming, zipper, zigzag, blind hem, and button fitting), screwdriver, touch pen, 3 spool caps, spool pin, spool net, foot controller, scissors, disc-shaped screwdriver, seam ripper, 4 bobbins including clips, needle set, twin needle, cleaning brush, eyelet punch, accessory bag, dust cover, 3 manuals, USB cable. So to get started, all you need are fabric, thread and stabilizer for embroidery.

You can connect your computer to the SE400 with the USB cable and import embroidery designs saved on your computer. This means that you don’t have to buy expensive software and a card reader/writer to download additional embroidery designs. There are thousands of free or reasonably priced embroidery designs available for download on the Internet. You just download the designs you like (in .pes or .dst format) and save them on your personal computer. Then attach your computer to the SE400 with the USB cable and send them over to stitch or save them in the SE400′s memory.

If you want the convenience of a combination embroidery and sewing machine in a compact, feature-full machine that is very easy to use with the LCD touch-screen control panel, you can’t beat the Brother SE400 in value for money. On the other hand, if you’re a more advanced embroiderer or don’t want a combination machine, the Brother SE400 is probably not the machine for you.
